Gawdzukes Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Despite a few ramblings I personally don't consider any stadium unsafe for the return to play if the right safeguards are taken. How many people in the area have the virus doesn't really matter as much as more important things like if it's done in complete isolation with constant testing. I have a bit of faith in the business world that they can certainly provide the aspects necessary to complete the task, along with strict security, intense testing, and a collaborative effort. It would be an honor to partake in such an endeavor and I would expect everyone from the players, trainers, owners, media, and cleaning staff (hopefully secluded and thoroughly vetted) to be better than they ever have in regards to the rules.

What if he goes east conference.. I wouldn't get him watch play... Call me selfish but i spend a lot of time travelling in 3 cities.. van edm and tml and I go watch games... Right now I'm in edm for atleast next 3 months so I'm glad this is a hub city.. Just selfish.. But at same time it's safest from covid. We don't have a big problem here..

Montreal & Ottawa would be the best for other Canadian teams. I think Montreal would be cool. He's not on that level. He wont be able to take over games like Mcdavid.. But he'll be a powerful player.... But imagine after a year or two hes developed and is 1st liner as EPs wing.. Horvath 2nd C Pod on 2nd line.. powerhouse team.. cup potential..

WHL rocks Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Not bad at all in Edmonton.. Any where you go don't see majority of people wearing masks. At grocery store I saw 2 Asian ladiess in masks and gloves approx 3 weeks ago.. Other than that it's generally life as normal We don't have much of a problem.. Limits to 250 ppl allowed in at super store.. one time I went on Sunday i had to wait for 8 to 10 ppl ahead of me. Other than that at I haven't experienced line up at any grocery store I shop at I go for a jog regulary since the panic started because my gym closed down...and I noticed a pretty long lineup at Costco one day when i jogged by ...and also same at Canadian Tire one other day... Never ran out of toilet paper in wallmart or superstore when people panicked and apparently TP sold out in Vancouver .. .my friends from Vancouver were calling telling me about how it wasn't available.. albeit shelves were not fully stocked .. But still available. I didn't even grab any had a pack at home. Realistically how much does a person need?. I find it odd that's the first thing people thought most important About one or rwo weeks after the panic we were a little bit low on certain beef products if i went to super store or wallmart.. Safeway it was less low.. But i always got what I wanted. And i go in evening so beef product shelves were low in evening .. Been here since well before xmas. And honestly other than economy being dead and work being slow I haven't noticed too much difference in day to day life..btw economy here was dead before covid.. NHL made the right decision make edmonton hub city imo.. I spent half the day downtown yesterday and can't remember 1 person wearing mask I'm sure there was the odd person but it's not on top of list to look for. So i didn't notice any one wear mask. It's generally not something people think about. .. Only one thing I didn't get during one of my grocery shopping days was chick peas. Next time i went it was available... no big deal.. So imo it's great decision to make this city hub city.. i highly doubt players and staff will lock them selves up in hotel connected to the new rink.. btw the hotel is really nice. Brand new i was tbere today...No way players stay locked inside no matter what you hear from media. The city is functional and I expect players and staff to go for walks or jogs and for a beer .. they won't be locked up in hotel like jail.. it's pretty normal here..

I see him as Kane-light. Definite 1st line wing - PPG+ potential. The way he took over the World Junior as a draft eligible, plus being CHL player of the year (and the year before), he should make an immediate impact on any top 6.

He's a heavy 2 way player.. Can't wait to have him over to see him in a Canucks jersey. Timo Meier.. kid in SJS is closest comparable imho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think he has (atleast) another gear than Meier. The real deal anyway you slice it. Hopefully we see him in a Nucks jersey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has another gear over Meier than means we hit another EP Quinn type of draft . Meier is a heck if a player. Power forward with skill.. his qualifying offer on next RFA contract is 10mill if i remember correctly. But i think Pod is a bit more aggressive.. soon as he comes over get him Horvats skating coach to work on his stride and we are laughing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call it dumb. I've been living here. Just telling you guys how life is here.. Really don't want to qualify my self. But i guarantee you I'll see players and media in and around town.. I'M a bit older than average fan boy. So I'm not type of person to bother them or takes pics to prove i was right on a msg board... But i live here. Don't tell me what I see and how people live here.. Players are NOT going to jail where they can be restricted... And when they see how normal life is here they'll be going for walks and jogs and food and a beer. Anyone thinks they will lock up like in jail are the dumbest thing I heard The argument to allow fans in stadium is idiotic.. .

WHL rocks Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) @wai_lai416 Rogers Place is connected to the newly built hotel where players will stay via breezeway. The area is smaller than a prison. Anyone thinks players see hundreds of ppl walking around hanging out outside and they just stare out of Windows like they are in a jail is rediculous. It's not gonna happen . Not here In edmonton. I haven't been to Vancouver for several months.. since before covid.. So i won't tell you how things are in that city. Don't call it dumb when I tell you how life is here. Edited July 3, 2020 by WHL rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
